For optimal notebook performance and to make sure the
notebook remains compatible with changing technologies, HP
recommends that installing the latest versions of HP software as
they become available.
Follow these steps to update HP software:
-
Prepare for any update by identifying the notebook type, series or family, and model.Prepare for a system ROM update by identifying (through the Computer Setup utility) the ROM versions currently installed on the notebook.
-
Access the updates through the local HP Web site or the Support Software CD (purchased separately).
-
Download and install the updates.
note:The notebook system ROM stores the BIOS. The BIOS determines how the notebook hardware interacts with the operating system and external devices and also supports such notebook services as time and date.
note:If the notebook connects to a network, HP recommends consulting with your network administrator before installing any software updates, especially system ROM updates.
